Joe Bongiorno posted his first Top 10 finish in the Meadowlands driver standings with 32 wins during the 2014-15 meet.
With the bulk of his success coming from the family stable
managed by his father, Bob Bongiorno, Joe also picked up
plum assignments from the sport’s leading trainer, Ron Burke.
Bongiorno developed and displayed talent as a bright teenager in New Jersey, and continued to gain valuable experience
competing at the sport’s highest level in early 2014. Among
his 16 wins during the inaugural meet at the Meadowlands,
World Cup rallied to a nose upset in a $30,000 Open Trot in
1:52.2.
Voted the 2011 Rising Star of the Year by the Monticello
Chapter of the US Harness Writers Association, and the 2011
National Amateur Driver of the Year, Bongiorno is the grandson of Harold “Sonny”
Dancer, won his first race at Freehold Raceway at age 18 with Mr Bennett and apprenticed under George “Buzzy” Sholty.
Joe scored his first Meadowlands win in a dead heat in 2012 with Moving Art. He
became the second youngest driver to post a $1 million season at age 19 and won 160
races that season.
Bongiorno followed up with another $1 million campaign in 2013. The graduate of
Colts Neck High School won a Finn Tack Driver of the Week Award in July of 2013
with three upsets. He kicked off his triple in a leg of the Ima Lula Series and put a
new lifetime mark on Real Babe of 1:53.2 at 12-1. Seek The Dragon lowered his mark
to 1:51.3 for Bongiorno, then Allamerican Apache scored at 12-1.

John Campbell turned 60 with a vengeance by fashioning a vintage Top
5 2014-15 meet at the Meadowlands with 97 wins and $2,863,342, and
hooked up with the rags-to-riches trotter JL Cruze. Campbell and the
four-year-old gelding by Crazed dominated the sport, winning finals of the
Super Bowl, Charles Singer Memorial, Shiaway St. Pat, Bobby Weiss and
Graduate. The latter came with a record of 1:49.4, the fastest trotting mile
in Meadowlands history. JL Cruze followed up with another world record
of 2:04.2 in the mile and one eighth Hambletonian Maturity. Campbell also
swept the Graduate for pacers with Doo Wop Hanover.
Unfortunately, Campbell was forced to miss his first Hambletonian in 33
years with a broken wrist suffered in a qualifying mishap at the Meadowlands Racetrack.
During the inaugural meet at the New Meadowlands, John Campbell finished sixth in the standings with 68 wins, and continued to make a nightly
impact among the sport’s top drivers. He won a $100,000 NJSS Final
with Doo Wop Hanover, and he also finished a hard-fought second in the
Hambletonian with Nuncio.
Campbell’s title as harness racing’s all-time leading driver is secure with
$293 million in earnings, more than half of which he has earned at the
Meadowlands. Campbell became the youngest person elected to Harness Racing’s Hall of Fame at age 35.
A decade later, on March 18, 2000, he became the first reinsman in horse racing history -- Standardbred or
Thoroughbred -- to reach $100 million in earnings at a single racetrack at the Meadowlands.
Campbell has won 16 Meadowlands driving titles and has an unprecedented seven victories in the Meadowlands Pace and six in the Hambletonian. Campbell is ninth among the sport’s leading dash winning drivers
with more than 10,000 carer wins, and he is also the leading driver in the Breeders Crown series with 47
trophies.
Campbell experienced a few challenging seasons during the mid-2000s, beginning with a fractured elbow
sustained in a racing accident that kept him sidelined for several months in 2003 and 2004. After a lukewarm 2005 seaon, Campbell experienced a rebirth for which he was named U.S. Harness Writers Association’s 2006 Driver of the Year. However, that resurgence was cut short when he fractured his left leg in a
Breeders Crown elimination on October 21, 2006 at Woodbine. Campbell made a triumphant return in April
2007 and posted his first $10 million season since 2002, despite missing the first three months of racing.
Once again in 2011, he bounced back from serious injury just in time to finish third in the Hambletonian with
Opening Night.
In 2000, Campbell was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal by the Governor General of Canada for his
commitment to harness racing. He was saluted by the New Jersey State Assembly in 2004.
In 2012, Campbell was named President of the sport’s Grand Circuit, and he continues to be one of harness
racing’s great speakers and goodwill ambassadors. In 2013, Campbell was voted the Stan Bergstein-Proximity Award by the United States Harness Writers Association.

earnings in 2014.
In 2013, Callahan came up with a second-place finish in the driver standings with 99 wins. Nicknamed
“Captain” through a Big M promotion, the affable and media-friendly Callahan was also honored with
his own bobblehead doll in 2013. He went past $9 million on the season for the first time and 3,000
career wins.
Also in 2013, the Callahan star was shining brightly on Hambletonian Day when he guided D’Orsay
to a world record on 1:51.4 in the $55,000 Ima Lula Final and came right back with a 4-1 upset in the

first time in 2012 with 35 wins, good for seventh in the standings that season. His 2012 summer highlight at The Big M came winning the $268,300 Sweetheart with Jerseylicious.
The 37-year-old from Easton, Maryland also guided world champion trotter Googoo Gaagaa, and he
also captured his fifth straight driving title at Dover Downs.
Callahan often donates to industry organizations like the Standardbred Retiredment Foundation,
Horse Lovers United and local SPCA groups, and was a nominee for the 2012 Rising Star Award.
As the son of noted horseman Nick Callahan, Corey went from a guy who didn’t even want to jog his
own father’s horses, to one of the top drivers on the Eastern Seaboard.
A graduate of the University of Kentucky where he played hockey, Callahan traded in a corporate suit
and started driving at the age of 27.
Callahan represented the United States in the 25th World Driving Championship in 2011 and finished
second.
The biggest win of his career came during the 2009 season when he captured the $500,000 Hoosier
Cup with Mr. Wiggles.

Following a serious injury in 2014, Andy Miller bounced back with a
strong 2015 season and landed in the Top 10 at the Meadowlands. In
addition to assisting his wife Julie Miller, Andy drove two of the fastest
miles of his career with Odds On Equuleus winning back-to-back in
1:47.4 and 1:47.3, and passed the $3 million mark in 2015.
Andy Miller was involved in an accident at Yonkers Raceway on April
15, 2014, breaking a pair of lumbar vertebrae in his back, and requiring eight hours of surgery and months of recovery time. Miller had
just passed 8,000 career wins and the $100 million milestone, and he
guided world champion trotting mare Perfect Alliance to victory in the
Charles Singer Memorial with a stakes record of 1:52.2.
With a positive prognosis for a full recovery, “The Orange Crush” continued to assist his wife Julie with their stable based at Gaitway Farm
in Englishtown, NJ. They finished second, third and eleventh with
world champion Designed To Be, Take The Money and Cee Bee Yes,
respectively in the 2014 $500,000 Hambletonian Oaks.
Andy Miller completed his eighth full season at the Meadowlands
in 2013, and finished third in the driver standings with 96 wins and $1,852,774. His major victories
included the Super Bowl Final with Windsun Galliano, the Exit 16W Final with Mr Dennis, the Junior
Trendsetter Final with Resistance Futile, the Arthur J. Cutler Memorial and John Cashman Memorial
with Sevruga, a Golden Girls division with Feeling You and a NJSS Final with Cee Bee Yes.
A leading driver on the Chicago circuit, Andy Miller began driving full time at the Meadowlands in
2006 and quickly established himself among the track’s leading drivers.
Miller is the younger brother of trainer Ervin Miller. Erv and Andy were born and raised in the
Amish community of Arthur, Illinois. There were always Standardbred horses around the Miller home,
but they were used for buggies not racehorses. Andy Miller started driving in 1985 at the age of 16 on
the Illinois fair circuit. When Erv went to work for leading Illinois trainer Tex Moats, Andy followed and
was soon afforded the opportunity to drive stakes-caliber horses for Moats. By 1996, Miller topped
the $1 million mark in purses. After spending eight years with Moats, Miller moved on to become one
of the most successful catch drivers on the Balmoral-Maywood-Hawthorne circuit. In the meantime,
his older brother’s stable developed into a national powerhouse and Miller has often been in the sulky
behind Erv’s top trainees like Loyal Opposition.
One of Andy’s biggest career wins came when he guided Creamy Mimi to an upset ($27.60) in the
$750,000 Hambletonian Oaks in 2008.
“Team Orange Crush” send out their third Hambletonian finalist in 2012, Money On My Mind. They
campaigned 2009 Older Trotter of the Year Lucky Jim to a dazzling 17 wins in 18 starts that season.
Lucky Jim won nearly every major stake in his division, including the Arthur J. Cutler Memorial, Titan
Cup and Breeders Crown. He trotted a world record of 1:50.1 in the Nat Ray on Hambletonian Day.

and $62 million. He also passed the $5 million mark for the sixth time
in the last five years.
Miller’s biggest wins at the Meadowlands in 2015 came with Spirit To
Win in the $187,000 Delvin Miller Memorial at 48-1, the $100,000 Miss
New Jersey with Wicked Little Minx, a $50,000 division of the TVG
Open with JK Endofanera and a $30,000 division of the Duenna with
Meadowbranch Wendy. He also made his Hambletonian debut with

In 2014, Miller was a steady force during the stakes season, with
major wins in the $212,150 Mistletoe Shalee with Sandbetweenurtoes,
the $30,000 Duenna with Donatella Hanover and a shocking upset in the $225,000 New Jersey
Classic with Sweet Rock. He also guided Dancin Yankee with a world record equaling 1:47.2
at Pocono Downs.
The 42-year-old from Columbus, Ohio was born into harness racing. His grandfathers A.J.
Price and Clyde Miller both operated stables, his father Del S. Miller was a successful horseman, and his cousin is Hall of Fame driver Dave Miller.
After getting his start on the Ohio circuit, and driving regularly at The Meadows, Miller started
concentrating on the Meadowlands, Pocono Downs and Harrah’s Philadelphia in 2014, which
led to lucrative stakes opportunities for top trainers like Hall of Famer Jimmy Takter. Miller
was runner up for the second time in the North America Cup with the Takter-trained favorite
Tellitlikeitis, who won his elimination in 1:48.4. He was also second in the 2010 edition with
We Will See. Tellitlikeitis finished third in the Meadowlands Pace.
Miller was also second in the 2013 Canadian Pacing Derby with Clear Vision, who won that
year’s Quillen Memorial, and Miller also captured the 2013 Milton Stakes with Rocklamation.
On April 11, 2007, Miller drove a record equaling 10 wins on a 13-race program at Northfield Park.
Miller has faced his share of adversity, including bad spills, which led to some personal medication issues, and turned out to be a series of events that completely turned his life around.
In mid 2007, Miller received a one-year suspension. After being in a couple of bad accidents,
he successfully battled addiction to pain medication and substance abuse, and credits trainer
Dan Daley with his recovery. Miller also met his wife, Stacey, and they now have three young
children.

“The Buckeye” also made his first appearance at Solvalla Racetrack in
Stockholm, Sweden, in an elimination for the Elitlopp with world champion trotter Uncle Peter.

Classic with Lucan Hanover in 1:48.3 and finished fourth in the Meadowlands driver standings with 89
wins. He also had a pair of Breeders Crown upsets at Pocono Downs with Uffizi Hanover and Shelliscape. As the first driver in history to hit $100 million in a decade, Miller posted a record twelfth season
past the $10 million mark in 2013.
Miller got on a roll early in the 2012 meet, winning six series finals in the first four months. He won his
first Hambletonian Oaks with long-shot Personal Style in 1:53.1, hooked up with Jimmy Takter’s fearsome freshman trotters To Dream On and Corky, and pulled off the NJSS Final-Miss New Jersey Double
with Sarandon Blue Chip.
A native of Columbus, Ohio, Miller comes from a harness racing family - his father Donny and grandfather Clyde both had public stables. Miller first started driving in 1981, but it wasn’t until 1988 that his
career began to soar when he steered 153 horses to the winner’s circle, six more wins than he enjoyed in
the previous seven years. He had his first million-dollar season in 1992 and quickly went on to dominate
the Ohio circuit, behind the likes of 1995 and 1996 Ohio Horse of the Year Crisp Sahbra. Another one of
Miller’s Buckeye accomplishments was a nine-winner card on January 10, 1998 at Northfield Park. He
was inducted into the Ohio Harness Racing Hall of Fame in 2010.
Miller has guided many divisional standouts, including 2000 Trotting Horse of the Year Magician and
2007 Older Pacer of the Year Mister Big. But his greatest accomplishments thus far were with 2003
Horse of the Year No Pan Intended, whom he guided to victories in the Triple Crown of Pacing and the

transition from county fairs to winning titles at Balmoral Park and Maywood Park in
Illinois. The young gun made his move to the Meadowlands in the Winter of 2013
and scored his first Big M win with Ideal Ginny on January 24th.
On June 29th, 2013, Marcus scored a “Cinco de Miller” with five wins, including three

advice from his uncle, Andy Miller.
Miller grew up in Sherman, Illinois and studied Marketing at Eastern Illinois University.

Unfortunately, back and neck surgeries kept Ron Pierce on the sidelines for
most of 2015. Pierce had additional back surgery on September 3 and was
scheduled to miss the remainder of the season. The second leading money winning driver of all time stood at $215,343,639 and 9,570 career wins.
Think of the 2014 season and Ron Pierce, and one sensational pacer’s name
comes to mind - Sweet Lou. The sport’s top free-for-aller reeled off ten straight
wins, including the Roll With Joe at Tioga Downs, the Ben Franklin at Pocono
Downs in a world record of 1:47, the William Haughton Memorial and the US
Pacing Champonship at the Big M, and the Dan Patch at Hoosier Park. The
five-year-old triple millionaire by Yankee Cruiser became the first horse in history to win six times under 1:48, all consecutively. He capped his illustrious
career winning the $500,000 TVG FFA in 1:48.
Ron Pierce turned 58 in 2014 and the Hall of Famer continued to turn back the
clock as one of the sport’s premier catch drivers, while passing 9,000 career
wins. He also won the $213,500 Del Miller Memorial with Shake it Cerry, and
finished second in the $355,500 Peter Haughton Memorial with Uncle Lasse, and the $225,000 New Jersey Classic with Beat The Drum.
Pierce became only the second driver in history to pass $200 million in 2013, and up until 2012, the
second-leading driver of all time both at the Meadowlands and in the sport’s history, had never had a
season since turning 50 without winning at least one million dollar race, doing it a record six years in a
row.
In the Fall of 2013, “The Miracle Man” also became the second leading driver in Breeders Crown series
history by winning three finals at Pocono Downs with Shake It Cerry, Luck Be Withyou and Spider Blue
Chip, pushing his total to 29 trophies. Pierce also had three seconds with Authorize, Cedar Dove and
Frau Blucher.
In 2011, Pierce drove the sport’s leading money winner, Roll With Joe. At $1.6 million, the son of Cam’s
Card Shark pulled a 5-1 upset from post eight in the Meadowlands Pace in 1:48.2, giving Pierce his
fourth Pace trophy.
Pierce won his first Meadowlands driving title in 2004 -- 27 years after his first Meadowlands victory -and received the sport’s highest honor, a Hall of Fame induction, in 2005.
His first Hambletonian win was in 1993 with American Winner. He won his second Hambletonian with Donato Hanover in 2007 and his third in 2010 with Muscle Massive. Pierce guided Donato Hanover to Horse
of the Year honors and just under $3 million in career earnings.
In perhaps the greatest race in the track’s history, Pierce guided Art Official to a dazzling 1:47 world
record in the 2008 Meadowlands Pace, handing eventual Horse of the Year Somebeachsomewhere his
only career loss. Pierce won his first Meadowlands Pace with Dream Away in 1997 and scored his third
win in the track’s signature event in 2009 with Three-Year-Old Pacing Colt of the Year, Well Said.
Pierce has won driving titles at Cal Expo, Los Alamitos, Fairplex Park, Canterbury Downs and Macau
in China. An avid outdoorsman, he first gained national attention in 1989 as the regular pilot of multiple
stakes winner Casino Cowboy. Since then, he has piloted an impressive list of champions, including
Shady Daisy, Pacing Triple Crown winner Blissfull Hall, triple millionaire Mr Muscleman, Tom Ridge,
Rainbow Blue and Passionate Glide.

Watching, who equaled the all-time fastest race mile of 1:46.4.
Tetrick finished fourth in the Meadowlands standings with 83 wins and $2.4 million,
and his other major wins at the Big M came with National Debt in the Buddy Gilmour
Memorial, Act Now in a $100,000 NJSS Final and Classic Martine in the Ima Lula Final in a world record of 1:50.1.

Share, I Luv The Nitelife and Captaintreacherous. In addition to the Meadowlands Pace, Tetrick and “The Captain” also scored major wins in the North America Cup, the Max Hempt Memorial, the Cane Pace, the Bluegrass
and Tattersalls.
In 2012, Tetrick was the Big M’s leading money winner with $3,457,933. He capped off his 2012 campaign at the
Big M with a bang, winning his first Hambletonian with Market Share in 1:52.1. He teamed up again with trainer
Linda Toscano to post a world record of 1:50.1 with Horse of the Year Chapter Seven in the Nat Ray, which tied
the fastest trotting mile ever at the Meadowlands. Tetrick also won a NJSS Final with Soutwind Cocoa, another
Toscano trainee.
Also in 2012, Tetrick guided Check Me Out to a world record of 1:51.3 in the Del Miller Memorial. He handled a
pair of outstanding freshman pacers in Woodrow Wilson winner Captaintreacherous and NJSS champion Johny
Rock. Captaintreacherous notched the first ever sbu 1:50 mile by a two-year-old at the Big M, 1:49.3. Tetrick joined
Hall of Famers John Campbell and William O’Donnell as the only drivers to win three $1 million races in a single
season, doing it in a five-week span, and then won a record four Breeders Crown on the same night at Woodbine.
He has also been a regular driver of two world champion female pacers, American Jewel and Anndrovette.
A native of Illinois, driver Tim Tetrick burst onto the national scene in 2007 when he set seasonal records for wins,
with 1,189, and purses, with $18.35 million. He also won the $1 million Meadowlands Pace that year with Southwind Lynx. Tetrick has led all drivers in earnings each year since then, including another record $19.7 million in
2008, and quickly established himself as a Top 5 Meadowlands driver. Tetrick won his second Meadowlands Pace
in 2010 with One More Laugh, upsetting eventual Horse of the Year Rock N Roll Heaven.
Tetrick began his driving career in 1998 at the age of 16, guiding his father’s horses around the Illinois county fair
circuit. He graduated high school in 1999 and made the decision to try his hand as a catch-driver, despite winning
an agricultural business scholarship. He drove at Illinois fairs and Blue Grass Downs in Kentucky before moving
on to Hoosier Park in early 2001 where he became on of the top drivers.
Tetrick’s record numbers are all the more amazing considering he missed several weeks of racing in 2008 and 2009
to have his right hip replaced. The reinsman has suffered from a degenerative hip condition since childhood, had
his left hip replaced in December of 2013, and returned to racing in February of 2014 His astounding achievements

sixth trainer to hit that milestone. He has won more than 3,500 races.
Ford owns a 200-horse state-of-the-art training center in upstate New York. A native of
West Virginia, Ford passed up an agricultural scholarship in England, and instead traveled to Florida after high school to work with Clint Galbraith. He moved to the New York/
New Jersey area in 1990 and eventually met Ted Wing, who became a big influence on
him. He also credits Ray Schnittker with assistance on his road to stardom.
One of Ford’s first success stories was the purchase of the durable double-gaited Six Day
War, for whom he paid just $12,000. Six Day War rewarded his faith with some $240,000
in earnings.
Ford stepped into the national spotlight thanks to the pacing gelding Gallo Blue Chip, the
2000 Horse of the Year. He is also noted for conditioning millionaires Whosurboy, Turnpike
Token, Armbro Animate, Stonebridge Kisses and Self Professed, as well as On The Attack.
Ford was named co-winner (along with Jimmy Takter) of the 2000 Glen Garnsey Trainer
of the Year Award by the United States Harness Writers’ Association.
Ford is a Director of the U.S. Trotting Association and the Standardbred Breeders and
Owners Association of New Jersey. Mark gives back to the industry in countless ways,
most recently in the form of lending his time, talents and staff toward the success of the
recently concluded USTA Driving School in Goshen, N.Y.

Mark Harder regained the spotlight at the Meadowlands in 2015 winning a $100,000 New Jersey Sire
Stakes Final with the freshman pacing filly Blue Moon
Stride. Overall, Harder’s stable earned more than $1
million for the 16th consecutive season, and Harder
passed 1,700 career wins and $38 million.
Harder came out flying in 2013 when his top free for
all pacer Golden Receiver made it back-to-back Presidential Series sweeps and January Horse of the Month
honors. The eight-year-old double millionaire also won
a TVG FFA event in 1:49.1. Harder finished fourth in
the Big M trainer standings with 24 wins, and won the
Charles Singer Memorial with Real Babe.
In 2012, Harder’s Golden Receiver paced the fastest
January mile in history (1:48). The son of Village Jove
carved out an amazing season at age seven, which
saw him win the Presidential, Spring Championship
(at Woodbine), Graduate, US Pacing Championship and William Haughton Memorial.
Harder also won the Cape and Cutter final with Symphony In Motion, and had success with
another Open class pacing mare in Royal Cee Cee N.
Harder grew up in a small community of Johnsonville, New Zealand. His parents owned
a kiwi and avocado orchard, and Harder originally thought he would go to college to earn a
degree in agriculture. “Then I got the horse bug, and much to my parents’ dismay, started
working with horses after finishing high school.”
Harder apprenticed with some of New Zealand’s top horsemen, and in the late 1980s was asked to travel to Chicago with a group of horses to be sold. Harder traveled back
and forth to the US on a regular basis for several years before giving Los Angeles a try.
Upon the recommendation of Ross Croghan, whom he knew in California, Harder went to
work for Bob Murphy’s large standardbred contingent in British Columbia for three years.
Problems with his work visa forced Harder to return to the US, and he went to work for
Croghan’s powerful stable in New Jersey.
Harder went out on his own in 2000, and with the backing owners such as Brian Nixon and
Aubrey Friedman, his stable quickly swelled. Harder ascended to the top of the training
ranks in 2004, winning his first Big M title during the January-August meet. That year, he
posted personal highs of 281 wins and $6,855,875, and pulled off the biggest upset in the
history of the $1 million Meadowlands Pace with Holborn Hanover, paying $119.00.

stock on Hambletonian Day. Woman’s Will finished fourth in the Jim
Doherty Memorial after winning an elimination. Milligan’s School
was a Peter Houghton Memorial finalist (sixth) after winning his
elimination. They also sent out Livininthefastlane (fourth) and Lady
Winona (sixth) in the Hambletonian Oaks.
Also in 2015, Julie made her Meadowlands Pace debut with Badiou
Hanover, and finished a close second in the Graduate Final with Lyonssomewhere. After their first $4 million campaign in 2014, “Team
Orange Crush” hit the $2 million for the seventh straight season in
2015, and went past 1,300 wins and $25 million.
Julie Miller certainly faced her share of challenges and successes in
the 2014 season. Her husband Andy Miller was seriously injured in
an April 15th accident at Yonkers Raceway, breaking a pair of lumbar
vertebrae in his back, and requiring eight hours of surgery and months of recovery time. Andy had
guided world champion trotting mare Perfect Alliance to victory in the Charles Singer Memorial in a
stakes record of 1:52.2.
With her husband assisting her from the sidelines, Julie continued to develop Perfect Alliance into
a world champion trotter. Miller sent out three starters in the Hambletonian Oaks, and finished
second and third with world champion Designed To Be and Take The Money, respectively. She
finished second in a NJSS Final with Cee Bee Yes, who went on to set a then world record at The
Red Mile when she won a division of the Bluegrass in 1:50.2. Miller also campaigned Open class
trotter Corraggioso. Her stable finished fifth in the Big M standings in 2014 with 25 wins, won over
100 races overall for the sixth straight year and passed the $3 million mark for only the second time.

In 2012, the Julie Miller Stable finished in a tie for third in the Big M standings. They sent out their
third Hambletonian finalist in Reynolds Stake winner Money On My Mind (tenth). Their previous
starters were The Chancellor (fourth in 2009) and Mystery Photo (sixth in 2010).
Although she has a bachelor’s degree in science, Julie Miller’s first love has always been harness
racing. Miller grew up in Iowa, where she spent many summers assisting her father, Owen Julius,
at the county fairs. Miller attained her training license when she was 18 and won her first race
at Quad City Downs in 1993. She began her career as a trainer-driver, and after graduating from
Southern Illinois University in 1995, she married top catch driver Andy Miller.
Miller’s top trainee was Lucky Jim, who won 17 of 18 races and $1 million on his way to 2009 Older
Trotting Horse of the Year. Lucky Jim trotted a world record of 1:50.1 in the Nat Ray at the Meadowlands and went on to also win the Breeders Crown.

In 2015, most of Chris Ryder’s power came from New
Jersey Sires Stakes champion The Show Returns, a
sister to Ryder’s former standout Put On A Show, and
New York Sires Stakes star National Seelster. These
two three-year-old pacers sent Ryder past the $1 million
mark for the 16th season. Ryder has more than 1,300
career wins and $33 million.
At one point in 2014, Chris Ryder had three Hambletonian eligibles going in the right direction, NJSS division
winners Well Built and Odds On Amethyst, and Southwind Poseidon. Among those three, Ryder’s best finish
on Hambletonian Day was a third with Well Built in a
Townsend Ackerman division. He was also third in the
New Jersey Classic with Bushwacker.
Ryder was also forced to retire his stellar pacing filly I
Luv The Nitelife in 2014 due to injury and health issues. The Dan Patch Award winning daughter of Rocknroll Hanover earned $1.9
million, set two world records, and no female pacer in history has made more at
ages two and three when she won back-to-back O’Brien Awards.
Following in the footsteps of Ryder’s world champion pacing mare Put On A
Show was the standout I Luv The Nitelife. The near flawless performer, who was
firmly in the 2013 Horse of the Year conversation, streaked through a sensational
sophomore campaign with major wins in the Breeders Crown at Pocono Downs,
a two-heat world record in the Jugette a Delaware, the Simcoe at Mohawk, the
James Lynch Memorial at Pocono, the Mistletoe Shalee and Miss New Jersey
at the Meadowlands and the Valley Forge in a world record of 1:48.4 at Pocono.
She won 13 of 15, with a second and a third, 12 in a row and $1,253,757 that season.
Chris Ryder has played at the top end of the game for many years, producing champions like Sealed N Delivered, Cathedra Dot Com, McArdle, two-time
Breeders Crown champion Mystical Sunshine and 2010 Crown winner Put On A
Show, who set a world record of 1:47.3 and banked $2.4 million.
The New Zealand native arrived in the US in 1989 when his wife Nicola was
transferred to a Manhattan accounting firm. Ryder worked as an agent Down
Under and also when he first came to America.
Ryder gained a reputation as a gifted developer of young talent. He first gained
national attention with 1997 Two Year Old Colt Pacer of the Year Sealed N Delivered. Ryder was back in the spotlight in 2001 with Cathedra Dot Com, who
carved out a $1 million season. His other top horses were Too Much Trouble,
Kiwi Scooter N, Go For Grins, Ideal Towne, Brioso Hanover and Metropolitan.

For well over a decade, Trond Smedshammer has consistently
produced champion trotters, and his stable earned more than $1
million for the 13th straight season in 2014. Smedshammer also
passed 1,000 career wins and $42 million. He sent out his eighth
Hambletonian finalist with Royal Ice, who set a Big M track record
of 1:51.3 prior to getting parked and finishing eighth.
Smedshammer’s legacy will be forever linked to his $4 million
trainee Arch Madness. In 2013, Smedshammer guided the nineyear-old Balanced Image gelding to some late-season heroics,
equaling his own world record of 1:50.2 at The Red Mile, then rallying to upset the sport’s top trotters in the $172,200 Allerage Farms Final in 1:51.3.
Smedshammer came to the United States in 1987 after a mandatory year in the Norwegian army and was virtually penniless when he took a job in the barn of fellow Norwegian
Per Henriksen. Smedshammer stayed for six months before heading back to Norway
where he continued training. He returned a year later to work for Lindy Farms and was
part of their team when they won back-to-back Hambletonians in 1989 with Probe and
1990 with Harmonious.
In 1992, Smedshammer opened his own stable at White Birch Farm in Allentown, New
Jersey, and he has proven himself as one of the sport’s top trotting trainers. Some of his
unconventional methods included lunging horses in a sand pit and training on straightaways.
Smedshammer was named the Glen Garnsey Trainer of the Year in 2004 when his stable
banked a personal best of $5,311,104 and he campaigned three champions. Trotter of the
Year, Windsong’s Legacy, Three Year Old Filly Trotter of the Year, Housethatruthbuilt,
and Trotting Mare of the Year, Stroke Play. Windsong’s Legacy earned a single-season
record of $1.7 million. His victories in the Hambletonian, Yonkers Trot and Kentucky Futurity made him the first Trotting Triple Crown winner since Super Bowl in 1972.
Smedshammer has trained a record ten trotting millionaires, including Arch Madness,
Strong Yankee, Blur, HP Paque, Sand Vic, Break The Bank K and Dejarmbro.
His other stakes winners include Creamy Mimi, Bowlin For Dollars, Mr Pine Chip, Blue

Ake Svanstedt sent three colts into the eliminations for
the 2015 Hambletonian, Workout Wonder, Centurion
ATM and Southwind Mozart, and although he didn’t
make it to the final he did dominate the $75,000 Vincennes Trot from post ten with favorite Resolve in 1:50.4.
That four-year-old by Muscle Hill is looking to fill a sizable void left by Svanstedt’s world champion Sebastian
K, who retired in 2015 due to injury.
Ake Svanstedt was a dominant force in Swedish racing
before making a major move to the United States in the
Fall of 2013, and opened a training facility in Vero Beach,
Florida with the Bender Family/Palema Stable. In 2014,
Svanstedt purchased Legend Farms, relocated his training operation to Wrightstown, New Jersey, and hired
Bjorn “Bernie” Noren as his assistant trainer.
Svanstedt captured five Trainer of the Year titles and three Driver of the Year awards in Sweden, and has more than 5,000 wins as a trainer and 6,400 as a driver. In his first two seasons
in the US, his stable won more than 100 races and banked over $4 million.
Svanstedt immediately made a huge impact in America, spearheaded by his super trotter
Sebastian K.
On May 10, 2014, Sebastian K, the eight-year-old barefoot wonder was making his first start
in the U.S., his first start in eight months and was coming off a nondescript qualifier (finished
fourth timed in 1:56.2). However, with an awesome and effortless 1:50.1 clocking, Sweden’s
2012 Horse of the Year equaled the mile track world record.
Sebastian K followed up his smashing American debut with a stakes record of 1:50.2
in the $175,000 Arthur J. Cutler Memorial, and another easy win in 1:50.3 just one week
later. On June 28, under perfect conditions at Pocono Downs, Svanstedt siezed the moment, actually urged on Sebastian K, and set the fastest trotting mile in history, a dazzling
1:49. No trotter in history has strung together such speedy miles.
On Hambletonian Day, Sebastian K once again equaled the mile world record of 1:50 (set
a week earlier by Archangel), and dominated the $300,650 John Cashman, Jr. Memorial,
while making him a perfect five-for-five at the New Meadowlands.
Svandstedt also captured the $355,500 Peter Haughton Memorial with Centurion ATM in a
track record of 1:53.2, and won a $50,000 Townsend Ackerman division with DD’s Hitman.
Svandstedt’s other major wins at the Big M in 2014 came with Your So Vain in the
$484,850 Hambletonian Maturity in a world record of 2:05.3 for a mile and an eighth, and
with Heaven’s Door in a $100,000 NJSS Final in a stakes record of 1:52.

After another blockbuster Hambletonian Day in 2015, Jimmy Takter
became the richest trainer in Meadowlands history, flying past the $31
million mark at the Big M. The Hall of Famer sent out five entries in
the Hambletonian eliminations, four advanced to the $1 million final,
and the steady gelding Pinkman gave Takter his second straight
Revere Bowl with back-to-back world records of 1:51.2 and 1:51. With
Yannick Gingras opting to drive Mission Brief, who won her elimination in 1:51.3, Pinkman picked up Brian Sears, and the pair held off
Gingras with the gallant filly. Takter trainees were also third and fourth
with Uncle Lasse and The Bank respectively. It was Takter’s fourth
Hambletonian, and he also captured the $500,000 Hambletonian Oaks
again with Wild Honey and Yannick Gingras, Takter’s fifth win in that
event.
In 2015, Takter passed 1,600 career training wins and $96 million.
Takter was voted Trainer of the Year for the fourth time in 2014 when
his stable earned a personal best $13,360,290. The leading trainer
in Breeders Crown history scored his third straight Crown triple with
Shake It Cerry, Pinkman and Father Patrick. Shake It Cerry also gave Takter a record sixth Trotter of the Year.
Takter campaigned the sport’s top five money winning trotters in 2014 and won all three legs of the Trotting
Triple Crown.
Takter was going for his third Hambletonian in 2014 with not one, but with the top three rated sophomore trotting colts: world champion Father Patrick, Trixton and Nuncio. In the $1 million final, Father Patrick drew post
ten and made a rare break, Nuncio was pressured on the lead throughout, and that allowed Takter himself to
guide Trixton to victory in 1:50.3. Takter also became only the second trainer to also win the Hambletonian
Oaks on the same day when Lifetime Pursuit set a world record of 1:50.4.
In 2013, Takter’s two-year-old stars were shining brightly on Hambletonian Day as Shake it Cerry set a stakes
and track record of 1:53.3 in the Merrie Annabelle and Father Patrick romped in the Peter Haughton Memorial
in 1:54.1. Both won Breeders Crowns, and with Uffizi Hanover also winning the Two Year Old Filly Pace, Takter
had his second straight Crown triple. Takter broke a tie with Bob McIntosh and became the leading trainer in
Breeders Crown history with 18 trophies.
In 2012, Jimmy Takter reached a pinnacle in his career by being inducted into the Harness Racing Hall of
Fame. The 55-year-old from Sweden rightly entered the pantheon of honorees at the height of his brilliant,
exemplary career and fittingly during his first $9 million season.
Nicknamed “Trotting Master,” Takter made a smooth transition onto the pacing side, producing a steady
stream of champions. Yet it was Takter’s trotters who made a strong impression on the Big M in 2012, most
notably To Dream On. The two-year-old filly by Credit Winner won her first five starts, including a stakes record
of 1:54 in the Merrie Annabelle. Takter won two divisions of the Stanley Dancer Memorial with Little Brown
Fox and Uncle Peter. The latter scored a Hambletonian elimination win, yet was the beaten favorite in the final
with Takter drove his own trainee Guccio to a second place finish. He also won a pair of NJSS Finals with Time
To Roll and Corky. Time To Roll was a close second in the $1.5 million North America Cup.
Takter campaigned 2012 Dan Patch Award honoree American Jewel, a career winner of more than $1.5 million,
who set a world record of 1:48.2 in the Fan Hanover at Mohawk.
In 1997, Takter was voted the Stanley Dancer Media Award by USHWA-NJ for his exemplary relationship with
the media. He also won his third Glen Garnsey Trainer of the Year Award in 2010. His native country, Sweden,
bestowed on him the coveted Gold Horse Award, voted on by the Swedish Harness Writers Association, for his
outstanding global accomplishments.
Takter’s name has become synonymous with trotting talent and his roster of world champions includes Tom
Ridge, Pampered Princess, Passionate Glide and Kadabra. He has trained two Horse of the Year honorees,
Moni Maker [1998 and 1999], and 1997 Hambletonian winner Malabar Man. Takter won his second Hambletonian in 2010 with Muscle Massive.
Takter’s other top horses include, Vintage Master, Simply Business, See You At Peelers, Ken Warkentin, Pastor
Stephen, Armbro Prowess, Mr Lavec, Kramer Boy, Solveig, Cabrini Hanover, Gleam and Lantern Kronos.

Linda Toscano continued to play at the high end of
the spectrum in 2015 with Open pacer and millionaire Doctor Butch and with her $3.7 million winning
trotter Market Share. By hitting the $1 million mark
in 13 of the last 14 seasons, Toscano also passed
1,700 career wins and $42 million.
Toscano won more than $2 million for the eighth
straight season in 2014. On Hambletonian Day she
won a $40,000 A-2/A-1/FFA Handicap with Heston
Blue Chip in 1:48.1 and finished second in the John
Cashman, Jr. Memorial with her triple millionaire
Market Share.
Late in 2013, Market Share captured the $500,000
TVG FFA Final in 1:51 at the New Meadowlands
and was the unanimous choice for Older Trotter of
the Year, his second straight Dan Patch Award.
Linda Toscano maintained her upper echelon profile with another strong season in 2013,
winning more than 100 races for the fifth straight year, and her stable earned over $3 million for the fifth time in six seasons.
Toscano enjoyed a dream season in 2012 when she was voted Trainer of the Year, campaigned Horse of the Year Chapter Seven, became the first female trainer to win the $1.5
million Hambletonian with Market Share and banked $6 million for the first time. The millionaire four-year-old trotter Chapter Seven blazed a world record of 1:50.1 winning the Nat
Ray. Toscano also won a New Jersey Sires Stakes final for two- year-old trotting fillies with
Southwind Cocoa. She sent out a pair of top flight three-year-old pacers in Heston Blue
Chip and Bettors Edge, plus freshman pacing star Doctor Butch.
Toscano is by far the most successful female trainer in Meadowlands history.
The 60-year-old breast cancer survivor started attending the races some 40 years ago
when her father would take her to Roosevelt and Yonkers Raceways. She got her start with
Buddy Regan in New York, and also worked with John Campbell when he had a stable.
She went out on her own in 1984 and was the leading trainer in her home state before moving full-time to the Meadowlands in 1988.
The Rutgers Equine Science Center named Toscano the 2013 recipient of their annual
‘Spirit of the Horse’ award, which recognizes individuals whose lives have been profoundly changed because of their involvement with horses and who have acknowledged
the impact by giving back to the horse industry.
Among Toscano’s other top horses was the rugged pacer Jet Laag, who earned more than
$1 million and set a world record of 1:49 on the half-mile track at Delaware, Ohio in 1999.
Other standouts for Toscano include 1995 Older Trotting Mare of the Year Giant Mermaid,
Kenneth J, Share The Delight, Athena Blue Chip, Mean And Green, Comeatross, Molly
Can Do It and Funny Malentine.
